When traveling to Australia, do you know the customs, culture and unique living habits of Australians?

Due to the cultural differences between China and the West, international students and new immigrants will always encounter various obstacles in communication, culture and art when they first arrive in Australia, which can lead to jokes! In order to prevent such embarrassing things from happening, today we have compiled some Australian customs, culture and unique living habits for everyone, so that new immigrants to Australia can integrate into local life more quickly. 1. Cultural Customs 1. No time for a date on Sunday morning

Despite the cultural influence of Western countries, the overall social atmosphere in Australia is very casual and harmonious, but they still have one custom that cannot be reconciled - You must go to the main church for worship every Sunday morning. This custom has been passed down since ancient times, and generations of Australians have never gotten rid of it. Therefore, if you immigrate to Australia and want to have a party or other activities with local friends, please avoid this special time on Sunday morning. 2. Hate rabbits

In addition to the most basic customs and humanities, life under different types of cultural and artistic backgrounds must also have different taboos. Just like people in our country don't like the number four very much and think bats are unlucky animals, Australian people don't like rabbits very much. In their opinion, rabbits are a very unpleasant animal and seeing rabbits is very unlucky. 3. Don’t like to bargain

Many people like to bargain when buying things, but this is very unpopular in Australia. Australian businessmen cannot adapt to spending time haggling. Therefore, when they purchase goods, they usually use bidding. The purpose is not to give the other party a chance to bargain. 4. Pay attention to the concept of time

Australian people, who have a very casual learning atmosphere, are extremely punctual when it comes to time. He has a very strong sense of time and will always make an appointment on time after making an appointment with someone. If a local invites you to visit their home, be sure to arrive on time at the agreed time. It is a good choice to bring a bottle of wine or a bouquet of beautiful flowers to the host's home. 5. In Australia, you have to queue even if there is no one in front

Abroad, most people respond to some Chinese-style queuing situations with relatively mild methods, but in Australia, queuing disrupts public order. Action is a taboo. Australians are used to consciously queuing up and observing order in public places. People queuing may incur dissatisfaction or fierce criticism from others. Moreover, when people in Australia line up, most of them stand relatively sparsely, and sometimes they don’t look like a very obvious team. Therefore, when new immigrants encounter this situation, it is best to ask the person in front of them to determine where they should stop, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. 6. It is not recommended to continue working despite illness

Unlike in China, you will find that life is the first priority in Australia, and you should rest when you are sick. Continuing to work despite illness is irresponsible to yourself. How can you be expected to take responsibility for others or work if you cannot be responsible for yourself? One thing is the same as in China, if you are sick, don't infect others. Doctors will tell you that you need to stay at home and how long you must self-isolate before going to public places. This is social morality and a sign of social responsibility. 2. Living habits 1. Shorten words

New immigrants who have just arrived in Australia may not be suitable for communicating with local Australians. The main reason is that Australians are particularly keen on shortening words. In fact, you originally knew the meaning of the word, but when Australians shortened it, the phonetic pronunciation was somewhat different, causing confusion.

To give a few examples: sunnies (sunglasses), Australian football is commonly known as footy (Australiafootball). Australians like to shorten people's names to Baz (Barry), Shaz (Sharon), and Robbo (Robert). There are even girls who call binoculars "binos". If you are invited to a good friend’s house in Australia for dinner, they will often ask you to “bringa platea”. This is not to ask visitors to bring an empty plate, but to hope that they can bring a plate of ingredients to the party and enjoy it together. 2. Football

In Australia, football (footy) is not traditional football. They will tell you that there are four school sports called "footy". Non-Australians have never understood what the locals in Australia mean. What kind of fitness sport is football, but it doesn’t matter, as long as you like football. When non-Australians first realized, "Can you bring your own wine to a restaurant? Can you bring your own beer to a nightclub?", it felt really great! 3. Play slot machines< /p>

Some Australians are very keen on using slot machines to gamble. People flock to nightclubs and clubs around Australia's countryside, pouring change into slot machines that spin and flash. 4. "How'sitgoing?" (How'sitgoing?)

You are just like the Chinese "Have you eaten?", it is just a greeting. Australia doesn't really want to know how you are.

They just want you to respond: good5. Eat seafood on Christmas

Australians will eat some big lobsters and seafood on December 25th, but if they come from the northern hemisphere, the English is not Australian. People may want to roast turkey or other traditional Christmas food. 6. "Overseas travel

Australians like to travel very much, right? The same thing, as long as it is not a trip in Australia. Australians will not tell you what Western Australia is like. Australians have never been there. Sydney, Australia. But if you want to know about the phenomenon in Bali, they may be able to help you.

Only by understanding the cultural customs and living habits of Australians can you avoid causing trouble due to seemingly unintentional behaviors. Misunderstandings of the other party. I hope that some of the folk customs and taboos introduced above can help Australian immigrants integrate into local life better and faster.
